SECURITY FOR ISA SERVERS | DATASHEET  

INTERNET GATEWAYS - THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Organizations today provide shared Internet access to most employees, so Web-based 

proxy services can help to manage bandwidth utilization and consolidate traffic by 

caching the data locally. Web access for both personal and business related information 

greatly increases the amount of Internet traffic and in turn, exposure to threats. 

Therefore, company’s deploying Internet Gateway solutions such as Microsoft

®

 Internet 

Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server can see considerable gains in faster internet 

response times and basic firewall functionality that provides a first line of defense.

THE NEED FOR PROTECTING INTERNET ACCESS GATEWAYS

While company’s deploying Internet Access Gateways do benefit from the additional 

firewall security, the protection they provide is limited because of static firewall rules 

and the lack of visibility into the packets that pass through the gateway. Therefore, 

protection against malicious code entering a company’s network through unmonitored 

applications or due to the lack of content inspection can result in enormous amount of 

wasted time, money and IT resources when an infection strikes.
Web-based services may pose a security threats, including:

●

●

Websites or downloaded files that are infected by malicious code

●

●

Downloading infected email attachments from online mail services

●

●

Downloading or uploading infected files by using FTP service

●

●

Via an infection propagated through a mapped network drive

Gateways provide a central choke-point for Internet-based content and help an 

organization implement both inbound and outbound policy requirements for users 

within the network. In order to optimize the security and increase the survivability of 

an ISA server deployment – without impacting the performance and response times to 

business critical operations – additional solutions are needed to ensure your operational 

efficiency.
